Shelving Time Lapse

I was looking for something definitely not nerdy at all1 and instead I found this pretty great time lapse video of people reshelving all the books in the Rose Main Reading Room. It’s a teeny bit cheating with some stop motion, and I really prefer my time lapse videos to be a little simpler than this, but my god, as someone who spent many a summer shifting in the sweltering Hauser Fun-dome, this is super satisfying to watch.

I enjoyed this more than I think it deserved, honestly. I thought it was shot so beautifully, taking such advantage of Bette Davis's face, and that the tragically repetitive, circling plot kind of worked, for the hammer-loud point the film seemed to be making.
